Just cracked open my Kuro Box Pro, and I thought I'd set it up using the stock kernel before doing anything too exotic. I haven't even formatted the disk inside. Problem I'm having is that I'm getting a 100mbps connection rather than the expected 1gbps.

Connecting to Netgear GS105 switch, which agrees with dmesg that I only have a 100mbps connection. Tried two different ports on the switch with two different CAT6 cables. Kubuntu box and WinXP box both have no trouble auto-negotiating at 1gbps with this switch.

I also have GS105, a kuro-pro with Debian installed and can verify that I am getting 1Gbps rate. I'd go ahead and install whatever distro you want and see what happens... Perhaps that stock kernel doesn't support Gbps - it may not sound likely, but I know the hardware you are using is capable of it!

I've since initialized the hard disk and for whatever reason the gigabit connection seems to come up reliably now. Can't figure out if there was some causation there or not, but I'm a happy camper nonetheless.
